An explanation of the scientific theory behind astrology. It describes how magnetic currents or tides pervade the solar system, stemming from the sun and boosted by the planets on to earth, affecting all life. The author has also written " Cosmic Magnitude".
Dr. Percy Seymour, an unusual scientist with an open mind, has considered the evidence and concluded that our geomagnetic field, as well as that of the Sun and even planets, may account for the influence we call astrology. In his book, The Scientific Basis of Astrology: Tuning to the Music of the Planets, Seymour traces the history of our involvement with natural cycles over millennia and puts our relationship with the cosmos in an evolutionary context. This book was released in 1992, when the Uranus-Neptune conjunction in Capricorn was first near exact, and it reflects a more cosmic view of history and cycles. To me, this time was a turning point for thinkers considering astrology from different points of view.
This is a wonderful book for any astrologer who wants to know more about how astrology might work. Each of the chapters builds on the material in the one before it, ultimately amounting to an astounding revelation. There is no index, but the Table of Contents is clear, as is the organization of the book itself. Read the full review on my blog: https://karenchristino.com/scientific...
Very refreshing to find a TRUE scientist exploring the age-old field of astrology. Percy's take on the importance of magnetism substantiates my own intuitions concerning the role of this factor in natal astrology, especially as it relates to the lunation cycle linking Sun, Moon and Earth, an important area of inquiry in any astrological chart interpretation.
It is a second reading of an amazing book about modern Astrology. My theory about the "Astrology of the 13 Signs of the Zodiac" is partly based on Mr. Seymour's theory.
